Assuming that by saying customView, you mean that you have a custom subclass of
the view class-- in this case, probably a subclass of N3DMovieCamera-- yes,
this is allowable within a bundle. The source files (whatever.[hm]) should
just be added to the bundle project like any other source files.
That rld() message is totally useless-- and not uncommon. There is an annoying
bug in rld such that it doesn't dump a complete message to console. It DOES
work under gdb-- so you might try attaching gdb to the WM process:
gdb /usr/lib/NextStep/Workspace.app/WM.app/WM
attach 148
<< go inspect a .rib file here and it should give you a useful message >>
In the best case, there is simply some function/class being referenced that you
have forgotten to include in your code or have mis-typed it (any compiler
warnings when you compile the code?).
In the worst case, the undefined symbol is N3DCamera itself because WM.app
doesn't include libMedia-- looking at WM.app/WM via otool -l, one gets:
Load command 6
cmd LC_LOADFVMLIB
cmdsize 56
name /usr/shlib/libIndexing_s.A.shlib (offset 20)
minor version 1
header addr 0x0a000000
Load command 7
cmd LC_LOADFVMLIB
cmdsize 52
name /usr/shlib/libNeXT_s.C.shlib (offset 20)
minor version 57
header addr 0x06000000
Load command 8
cmd LC_LOADFVMLIB
cmdsize 48
name /usr/shlib/libsys_s.B.shlib (offset 20)
minor version 55
header addr 0x05000000
Load command 9
cmd LC_SYMTAB
cmdsize 24
symoff 524288
nsyms 5106
stroff 585560
strsize 121640
Which seems to indicate that WM.app doesn't have any kind of a reference to
libMedia_... which would leave the 3Dkit (and anything else in that lib-- live
video, as well) inaccessible...
One COULD potentially edit the load commands....
